The Gospel: 2016 West Coast Conference
































The ascension of Christ marks the pinnacle of His earthly ministry, yet it is one of the most underappreciated aspects of His work. Jesus said it would be to our advantage for Him to return to His heavenly Father. From His exalted position at the right hand of the Father, Christ poured out the Holy Spirit upon His people. In this session, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey explains the ascension of Christ in connection with the work of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the local church.
